Sir Philip will speak about the UK’s defence policy and operation. He will also speak about the role of the Modern Royal Navy and his vision for the future of the Service.

Sir Philip will be joined by Capt Stephen Moorhouse, the Commanding Officer of HMS Prince of Wales. The new aircraft carrier is formally affiliated with the City of Liverpool, a relationship that will last for the next 50 years and will have a role in promoting the city and its commerce across the world.
